Protesters carry a defaced cutout of Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, as they protest near the central government offices in the business district of Admiralty in Hong Kong, September 29, 2014. Democracy protesters defied tear gas and police baton charges to stand firm in the center of the global financial hub on Monday. The Communist government in Beijing made clear it would not tolerate dissent, and warned against any foreign interference as protesters massed for a fourth night in the freewheeling capitalist city of more than 7 million people.
